Error 1040 Fix (Not Being Able to Make or Join a Multiplayer Lobby)
Just making it easier for those of you who weren't able to find a fix for this error after trying all the other solutions you saw online. What worked for me after finding a 2 year old post, go to your install folder SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\EA SPORTS WRC\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty and rename the OpenXR folder to OpenXRback.
EA Anticheat Removal - when?
Now that EA WRC has more or less been abandoned, at least the horrible EA Anticheat should be removed. Since EA Anticheat was introduced, I haven't been able to play the game, EA didn't care, and I didn't get my money back either. So finally remove EA Anticheat from the game.
Couple of improvements
Dear EA Team, WRC is a pretty decent game, I am playing it since the release, a couple of improvements would be nice if you plan to make a new DLC or a new game in the future: there are a lot more spectators in real life, especially in Monte Carlo of Finnland for example. The drives make different tyre choices, also inbetween the stages, and do cross fits ( like snow on front right and soft tyre in the front left and so on). This is a big part of rallying, and would make the game a lot more realistic and enjoyable for rally fans! :) we only get to choose one set of tyres for all four wheels and if we take a spare it is the same type of tyreAdd triple monitor support with free Unreal Engine plugin
Please add triple monitor support via this free Unreal Engine plugin https://github.com/fracturedbyte/UE4-MultiViewRendering This is the same plugin that Assetto Corsa Competizione uses for triple monitor support as can be seen by the attached photo. No need to create this functionality from scratch and proven to work in a shipped Unreal Engine 4 game. This plugin should be able to be added to WRC with minimal tweaks. Here is how ACC handles triple monitor support in game. First enable triple screen in video options. Then enter any game mode and once you are in a vehicle pause the game and select view settings> triple & widescreen to setup triple monitor support (screenshot attached).
